War and Conflict Journal

Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, entered its fourth consecutive day of peaceful protests against the military dictatorship.  The Junta has weathered protests before, and this one is unlikely to cause a government collapse. 

It must be noted that the Myanmar regime is firmly supported by China, which counts Myanmar as a staunch ally.  The United States seeks improved human rights in the country, and President Bush recently discussed this situation with Chinese President Hu Jintao at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Australia on September 6, 2007.

Myanmar protests enter 4th day –

It should be noted that Myanmar/Burma is home to several guerrilla conflicts and political rebellions.
